About the Owner
I would like to welcome all of our new and returning families. Shaynah Kinner has been an established daycare in the Kutztown area for many years. In 2015, I purchased the daycare and have been continuing the reliable and dedicated service that families need in their daily lives. A bit of history is in our name, the English translation of the Pennsylvania Dutch Shaynah Kinner is “cute kids”.
I would like to take the time to introduce myself. My name is Faith Wanner and I am a graduate of Kutztown University. I have been in the education field for over twenty-five years in various roles. I began my career in the Kutztown School District and went to spend sixteen years with the Berks County Intermediate Unit. I was a classroom teacher for childcare and was a specialized teacher for children with special needs. These experiences provided opportunities to develop many teaching techniques to provide education for a variety of challenging behaviors and learning abilities.
I am married to my husband Michael and I have a daughter, Olivia who has been a Shaynah Kinner kid since she was five years old.
My goal for Shaynah Kinner is to develop well rounded and productive children that will work hard and do their best in the world. I expect the children to be respectful of the staff and one another. Shaynah Kinner will be a place that they will be able to feel safe and grow not only physically, but socially and emotionally as well. We will continue the tradition of “home away from home.” Children are our priority! I consider parents to be my partners in education. I look forward to creating an environment where we will all grow together. It truly does take a village.
Thank you for your continued support
Faith Wanner
